What we do?

HOW2 provides an online information and advice service to the Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) as well as larger organisations. Membership of HOW2 is free. As a member of HOW2 you will have access to a range of articles and services and if you choose you may be introduced to Service Partners.

HOW2 does not deliver services in its own name or at all. Where services are offered by Service Partners they are not agents of HOW2 and do not oblige one another and are not liable for one another acts or omissions.

Should you decide to enter into a contract with a HOW2 Service Partner, then it is for you and the Service Partner to agree the contract and the terms of the contract. HOW2 does not accept any liability in connection with such an arrangement. It is for you to decide the suitability of the contract.

After completing the membership registration you will receive an email confirming your membership and use of the HOW2 website along with your registration / login details. We will also send you up to 3 reminders to activate your login details. You cannot opt out of receiving these emails.
